ALBION RELEASE THREE WOMEN'S PLAYERS

The trio have been left Albion after this year's FA WSL Spring Series.

Brighton & Hove Albion today confirmed that three players have been released following the conclusion of the club’s first-ever season in the FA WSL Spring Series.

Amy Taylor, Charlotte Young and Lisa Fulgence will not have their contracts renewed, and leave the club with immediate effect.

Albion’s women’s and girls’ general manager, Kirsty Hulland, said, “At the end of the season, there are always difficult decisions to be made.

“Amy, Charlotte and Lisa have all been brilliant players for the club during the last couple of seasons, and all played a key role in helping the club to achieve Women’s Super League status.

“But following discussions with the first-team coaching staff, it was decided that it would be best for these three players to pursue their careers elsewhere.

“On behalf of everyone at Brighton & Hove Albion, I would like to thank Amy, Charlotte and Lisa for their tremendous service to the club and wish them all the very best for the future.”

Taylor and Fulgence both arrived at Albion from Gillingham in the summer of 2014, and were part of the squad that won the FA Women’s Premier League Southern Division and subsequent Championship Play-Off Final last year.

Young was also part of the play-off final winning squad, and initially joined Albion in the summer of 2013 from Reading. Following a brief spell out of the game, she re-signed at the start of the 2015/16 season.
